Australian fugitive 'found hiding in ship's air vent'
A criminal suspect who allegedly tried to flee Australia on a yacht has been apprehended after he was found hiding in an air-conditioning vent on a ship.
Police said the man, 31, was facing a sexual assault charge in Sydney.
On Saturday, he set sail from a New South Wales (NSW) town on his own small yacht but it ran into trouble and he was rescued by a passing cargo ship.
He then disappeared from a cabin sometime before the ship, bound for Malaysia, stopped at a port in NSW.
